Microdermabrasion For Winter Skin

Microdermabrasion For Winter Skin

Everyone wants to look their best for the holidays and having a youthful, glowing skin is an important part of upping your beauty quotient. Your skin is the most vulnerable to seasonal changes as itā€™s subject to the most exposure to the natural elements. It has borne the brunt of long, hot days spent outside enjoying the summer sun and then taken a beating from the chilly fall wind. Now with the temperatures dropping further and snow flying around, the winter months will be hard on your skin. The freezing weather and cold wind can leave your skin dry and lack luster.

Ā 

Microdermabrasion treatment is a quick, convenient and simple non-surgical way to counteract the damage to your skin from overexposure to the sun and the environment. If you donā€™t want to go for the more invasive chemical peels, plastic surgery and botox injections then you can try microdermabrasion. It is your ticket to taking years off your skin and getting rid of scars, fine lines, acne, and age spots. No wonder it is the second most preferred non-surgical cosmetic procedure in the United States.

What Does The Microdermabrasion Procedure Involve?

Microdermabrasion removes the dead, dry, dull, outer layer of your skin from your face, neck, chest, hands and arms, leaving you looking radiant and fresh.

Ā 

During microdermabrasion a diamond encrusted wand is passed over the skin to make skin abrasions, which provides deep exfoliation. Microdermabrasion devices use abrasive elements from diamond-pads, crystal and bristles that help to trigger a wound response. This prompts the skin to repair itself and become smoother and thicker.

Ā 

The exfoliated dead skin cells are removed via a closed loop vacuum system. The vacuum machine buffs the skin gently to remove cellular debris and reveal a cleaner & brighter appearance. Dead skin cells are massaged to stimulate the lymph to aid removal of waste & toxins and also increase the blood flow to the dermal tissue.

Ā 

Masks are applied after the treatment to nourish and strengthen the skin.

Advantages Of Microdermabrasion Treatment In The DFW Area

With microdermabrasion you will see immediate results. You can easily get cleaner and smoother skin after even one session.

Ā 

The procedure only takes about 30 to 45 minutes and is completely painless.Ā  Being non-invasive, there is no discomfort or downtime and you make a quick return to your everyday activities right away, looking refreshed and glowing.

Ā 

Microdermabrasion regenerates new skin cells and helps to turn the clock back on aging. You can heal your sun damaged skin and get rid of sun spots and wrinkles so that you are left with younger looking skin. A few sessions of microdermabrasion treatment can even acne scars too.

Ā 

Microdermabrasion is considered safe for all skin types. Your treatment will be customized and the exfoliation depth set by our trained specialists depending on your skin type and skin condition.

Ā 

There may be some reddening of the skin post treatment which goes down in a few hours but other than that there are no risks or side effects to the treatment.

Ā 

The cost of microdermabrasion treatment is low and it is relatively inexpensive.

Ā 

Microdermabrasion boosts collagen growth and increases cell turnover to leave your skin with improved elasticity and radiant.

Ā 

Your skin typically regenerates in 30-day intervals so microdermabrasion should be repeated at intervals of four weeks for the best results.

Ā 

Microdermabrasion is the perfect skin beauty treatment for sun-damaged skin, scars, fine lines, acne symptoms, freckles and age spots. It can dramatically change the way your skin looks and feels.Ā  Consult a professional atĀ Calista Skin and Laser CenterĀ to get more information about microdermabrasion procedure. You can reach us at 817-488-3838 to look younger and get your radiant glow on for the coming year!

Erectile Dysfunction

ED Treatment That Works ā€“ Dallas Fort Worth (DFW)

ED Treatment That Works ā€“ Dallas Fort Worth (DFW)

Erectile dysfunction (ED), also known as impotence, is a condition that affects 1 out of 10 men globally. And ED is much different than the occasional erection issue that all men go through from time to time. If you have an ongoing issue with getting and keeping an erection you need to seek out treatment. A decrease in sexual function is very frustrating and can be embarrassing for men and may stress and otherwise good relationship. The good news is there are treatment options, the great news is there are effective treatment options.

Ā 

So, if you are looking for an erectile dysfunction doctor or specialist in the Dallas- Fort Woth area, that gets effective and lasting results. Or if you have tried just about everything and it didnā€™t seem to work. You are in the right place.

Ā 

Calista Skin and Laser is led by a board-certified physician (Kenneth Baird) that has been practicing medicine since 1989 and we are right here in Colleyville serving the DFW area.

Ā 

There is a lot of information about ED on the web, but we wanted you to have information on ED, treatment options and more all in one place.

What Causes Erectile Dysfunction (ED)?

Male sexual arousal dysfunction can result from a combination of physical and psychological issues. Problems with the brain, hormones, nerves, muscles, blood vessels or even emotions, can contribute to or worsen erectile dysfunction. Anything that may damage and restrict blood flow to the two chambers of the penis, known as the corpora cavernosa, can result in ED.Medical conditions can affect your sexual response, which might result in anxiety about maintaining an erection.

Ā 

Erectile dysfunctionĀ can be caused by physical conditions such as heart disease, atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), kidney disease, high blood pressure, cholesterol, Parkinsonā€™s disease, multiple sclerosis, tobacco use, drug use, alcoholism, obesity and sleep disorders. Even surgeries or injuries that affect the pelvic area or spinal cord can result in ED.

Ā 

Psychological causes such as depression, anxiety, mental health condition, stress, and other concerns can interfere with sexual feelings and cause or worsen erectile dysfunction.

What Is The Most Effective Treatment For ED In DFW?

ED certainly isnā€™t just an age issue that you have to accept or be stuck with. Depending on the cause for your ED, there are several erectile dysfunction treatment options to consider. The better educated you are about ED treatment alternatives, the sooner you can go back to sharing and enjoying intimate moments with your partner.

Ā 

While there are many common treatments for ED, Sometimes due to your specific condition (like if you have diabetes) oral medicines will be less effective.

Ā 

AtĀ Calista Skin and Laser, we try to offer the most up-to-date treatments and have found GAINSWaveĀ® to be one of the most effective natural, holistic treatment for men seeking to improve their overall sexual function and performance. Ā Especially, if your ED is a result of poor blood flow. GAINSWaveĀ®, with long-term results, was specifically developed for men seeking an erectile dysfunction treatment.

What Is GAINSWave?

GAINSWaveĀ®Ā is a revolutionary evidence-based, clinically proven drug-free, surgery-free, and non-invasive procedure for men that use pulsed acoustical waves to optimize sexual performance and to reverse the effects ofĀ Erectile Dysfunction(ED)Ā due to poor blood flow.

Ā 

This breakthrough solution is a safe and comfortable treatment for men seeking better erections.

Who Can Benefit From GAINSWave ED Treatment?

GAINSWave can help men with Erectile Dysfunction symptoms, including having trouble getting or keeping an erection, experiencing other sexual problems such as premature or delayed ejaculation and those experiencing reduced sexual desire. It can even help reduce the curvature of the penis for men suffering from Peyronieā€™s Disease.

How Does GAINSWave Work?

A vast majority ofĀ Erectile Dysfunction (ED)Ā issues, around 80%, are caused by poor blood flow. GAINSWave uses high frequency, low intensity pulsating sound waves to increase blood flow to the penis. The sound waves trigger a healing response by opening existing blood vessels, removing micro-plaque, repairing aged blood vessels and activating the growth of new blood vessels in the penis and erectile tissue. The improved blood flow leads to stronger, more sustainable erections, enhances sensitivity in the penis and improves sexual function.

The Many Benefits Of GAINSWave

GAINSWave has developed a specific protocol involving low-intensity sound waves designed to optimize efficacy, safety and effectively treat ED andĀ Peyronieā€™s disease and enhance sexual performance. It is otherwise also known as Low-Intensity Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (LI-ESWT). Besides enhancing erections, it also increases sensations in the penis and leads to better orgasms.

Comparing GAINSWave To ED Medications

There are overĀ 40 clinical studiesĀ to backup the fact that GAINSWave has a greater than 75% success rate in treating Erectile Dysfunction (ED).Ā  A similar Shockwave therapy has been used in Europe to successfully help men with ED for more than 15 years. The effects of GAINSWave treatment have been medically proven to last 2- 3 years.

Ā 

Unlike traditional oral medications like and other oral medications that treat ED, GAINSWave has few if any harmful side-effects and there are no expensive prescriptions pills to remember to take.

GAINSWave Is Safe

This is a safe treatment even for men with pre-existing medical conditions and it can also be used for men who cannot depend on oral ED medications, such as men with heart disease, diabetes, or high blood pressure. and other oral ED drugs cannot treat Peyronieā€™s Disease, which GAINSWave can.

Ā 

Patient safety and optimum results are guaranteed because the GAINSWaveĀ Medical Advisory Board has laid down standardized protocols and quality assurance standards for practitioners to follow.

A Simple And Safe Procedure

GAINSWaveĀ® therapy comprises of a series of simple in-office treatments (anywhere from 6 ā€“ 12 treatments) that is completely non-invasive, surgery and drug-free.Ā  Each session can take between 15 to 20 minutes.

Ā 

The initial treatment sessions can be followed by preventative maintenance and performance program to maintain the good results. To experience the full benefits of GAINSWave therapy, you have to go through a series of 6 to 12 procedures, but you are likely to see improvements immediately following the first few procedures. GAINSWave treatments will stimulate the growth of penile tissue, generate new blood vessels in the penis, and activate dormant stem cells to promote new cell growth for better, stronger erection, and improved sexual performance. You will also see decreased recovery time between orgasms.

How To Plump And Define Your Lips

How To Plump And Define Your Lips

Full, sensual lips are something many of us desire and bring attention and balance to our features. Few of us have a naturally voluptuous pout, and as we get older, our lip tissue gets thinner, drier and even loses its definition.

The Hyaluronic Acid Factor

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is naturally found in the human body and keeps our skin, including our lip tissue, supple, moist and plumped. General aging means that our HA levels drop significantly, and that leads to wrinkling and thinning tissue which can make you feel less confident.

Ā 

You can add volume and define your lips without surgery in two simple, safe and effective ways at Calista Laser. Both involve the use of hyaluronic acid because it provides that appealing fullness that many of us long for.

Safe and Non-Surgical Filler

The first method comes via injectables known as dermal fillers. These amazing injections can create the following:

  • Instant Lift
  • Instant Volume
  • Instant Smoothness
  • Re-Shaping Lip Borders
  • Re-Shaping Cupidā€™s Bow

TheĀ best dermal fillerĀ to use in the lip area of the face is one containing HA. Hyaluronic acid is excellent at delivering natural-looking volume and a smooth texture. Not only will your top lip and bottom lip look fuller, but theyā€™ll feel natural to the touch. HA also naturally infuses your fuller lip tissue with hydration to help maintain its new suppleness.

Only true skincare experts like our team at Calista Laser can create natural-looking lip enhancement, which takes precise injections of dermal filler and a keen aesthetic eye.

The quick procedure just takes a few minutes, and the results are long-lasting. Juvederm Volbella HA injections, for instance, can last for up to 12 months.

Advanced Lip Plumping Product

The other way to achieve a fuller pout without injections is with a lip plumping product you apply. There are many of these available on the market, but only a few show significant results.

Ā 

One of the finest we offer at Calista Laser is by the SkinMedica brand. It is called theĀ HAāµĀ® Smooth and Plump Lip SystemĀ and features a two-step process.

The HA5 Smooth & Plump Lip System includes:

  • HA5 Lip System Smooth
  • HA5 Lip System Plump

Ā 

This gentle system works with the proper amounts of dimethicone and hyaluronic acid.

To achieve optimal results, you apply the lip plumping system three or more times daily:

Step 1: Apply around the top lip and bottom lip and lip contour.

Step 2: Apply only to the lip area, staying within the natural lip line.

Letā€™s be totally honest. Fuller, more defined and more voluptuous lips are something most people desire, and today, itā€™s easy to attain this look.

We canā€™t wait to show you how lip injections can be tailored to your individual needs. Book an appointment today by contacting usĀ here.Ā Or call us at 817-488-3838.

How To Minimize The Appearance Of Crowā€™s Feet

How To Minimize The Appearance Of Crowā€™s Feet

Just what are ā€œcrowā€™s feet,ā€ besides the walking body part of the crow? If you are bothered by this condition, read on, to learn more about them and how you can minimize their appearance on your face with the right skin care and lifestyle changes.

What Are Crows Feet?

These are a form of wrinkles that end up at the corners of the eyes. They often look deeper and are noticed more than other wrinkled areas.

Why Do They Appear Around the Eyes?

As you age, collagen is lost; add to that exposure to the UV rays of the sun. Crowā€™s feet can occur at any age, however, since the skin around the eyes is thin and lacks oil glands to keep it lubricated. When elasticity around the eyes is lost, it is not able to bounce back to its previous state.

Ā 

According to American Academy of Dermatology, there are certain lifestyle habits, such as cigarette smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, that can also lead to degraded elastin and collagen.

Ā 

Smiling and squinting over a long period of time can also cause the loss of elasticity around the eyes.

How Can I Get Rid of These Wrinkles Around the Eyes?

There are some steps that you can take to lessen their depth; these involve lifestyle changes and awareness. Steps include:

  • Wearing a hat
  • Staying hydrated
  • Eating a healthful diet
  • Reducing toxin exposure
  • Wearing sunglasses that are UV protected
  • Using an SPF eye cream

Ā 

A daily skin regimen combined with a diet that is healthy, along with eye cream, can help keep these lines from becoming worse.

Ā 

Fillers, such asĀ BOTOXĀ or Dysport can be injected into the area to reduce facial muscle activity. Lines from expression become less noticeable with relaxation of the muscles; the face then has a rested more youthful appearance. The most common injection areas are between the brows, forehead and the area around the eyes.

Ā 

On the other hand,Ā skin care productsĀ can be delivered to your door and do not involve injections. The smartest way to find out what is the best solution for your needs and budget is to consult with a skin care professional, through a free consultation.

Ā 

Find about more aboutĀ Calista skin careĀ and how we can help. We offer skin care products to add to your beauty routine every day.

Understanding Laser Tattoo Removal

Understanding Laser Tattoo Removal

Laser Tattoo Removal ā€“ What You Should Know

So, you covered your body with an amazing tattoo? Possibly, your exā€™s name? Now you want to remove it. Donā€™t worry, tattoo removal is now available with laser technology. It may be time to erase the past and move on; what seemed like a great idea at the time, is no longer great.

Ā 

Did you know that as many as 25 percent of those with ink regret their tattoos? Artwork on the face, hands, or neck may no longer fit your lifestyle or remind you of a time you would rather forget. If you live in the DFW, Texas area, we have the answer for you.

Pigments of reds, blues, greens, and black inks are broken up with a high-intensity beam of light. Black is the easiest color to treat since it absorbs all laser wavelengths, but all colors can be treated.

Ā 

Different types of lasers may be used, such as the PicoWay by Candela or the Candela Alex TriVantage. The advantage of the Pico is that it can remove the colors in a shorter amount of time, possibly four to six months.

How Long Will Treatments Last?

The number of treatments will depend on the age, size, and color(s) of the ink. It will also be influenced by your skin color and the depth of the tattoo. Since all tattoos are different, the only way to predict this is with a consultation from a trained professional.

What to Expect

After a consultation, your first treatment will begin. It will include the following in this session:

  • You will get protective eye shields
  • Your skin will be tested to determine the best energy for the treatment
  • A technician will then pulse light through the top layer of skin, that will break up the pigments

Ā 

The larger the inked area, the more pulses will be required to remove them. To completely get rid of the ink, it will take several treatments. You will notice the colors becoming progressively lighter after each visit.

Ā 

There is some discomfort, but most people do not need anesthesia. An ice pack can soothe the treated area when you get home. An antibiotic cream and bandage for protection can help with healing. Avoid the sun or use sunblock after a treatment.

Insurance, Etc.

Removal of tattoos is considered cosmetic and a personal option; for this reason, most insurance will not cover the procedure unless it is medically necessary. Be sure to discuss costs and payment upfront as you consult with the trained professional about removal.

You donā€™t have to worry about tattoos being a problem in your life. Learn more aboutĀ how Calista Skin Center can help you with your tattoo removal.

Give us a call at 817-488-3838 for a consultation, and weā€™ll get you on the path to freedom from past ink.

Options For Treating Acanthosis Nigricans

Options For Treating Acanthosis Nigricans

If you are concerned with having Acanthosis Nigricans, here are options for the treatment of this skin discoloration.

What is Acanthosis Nigricans?

The condition is a discoloration of the skin is thickened, dark patches that can appear on the neck, thighs, and other areas. With a velvety texture, the skin remains soft and not tough. Not contagious or harmful, it can be bothersome to those who do not like its appearance.

What Are the Causes?

Although seen in healthy people and not necessarily a medical condition, this issue can be a side effect of the following:

  • Type 2 diabetes
  • Birth control pills, HGH, prednisone, high-dose niacin, and some other medications
  • Some cancers
  • Genetic disorders
  • Obesity, which is the most common

Ā 

Since obesity is the most common cause, the loss of weight can often reverse it. Your doctors should diagnose Acanthosis Nigricans before any treatment is begun.

What Are Some Treatment Choices?

If the condition is caused by obesity, weight loss is the answer; it will disappear with the loss of the weight. Reversing insulin resistance is another way to treat it, with help from your doctor.

Ā 

Cosmetic treatments, done by a trained professional, can also manage cases that are not too severe and have not been affected by weight loss. These treatments are:

  • Laser therapy
  • Dermabrasion
  • Topical retinoids

Ā 

Before a cosmetic treatment is attempted, it is important that you see a doctor, as this condition may have a medical cause. After that, you can utilize some of the above to treat it.

Micro-needling ā€“ The Vampire Facelift

Used to treat pigment issues and brown spots as well as other conditions, micro-needling is one of the treatments used for this issue.Ā Micro-needlingĀ increases collagen and has been practiced for more than 20 years.

Ā 

It is popular these days to stay youthful, but micro-needling can also treat brown spots if you do not have any active infections, lesions, or known healing problems. Other names for the procedure include collagen induction therapy (CTI) and percutaneous collagen induction (PCI).

Skin Care Products and Laser Therapy

There are someĀ skin care productsĀ that can help reduce the appearance of skin discoloration; they also improve fine lines in the skin. It is important that all procedures be done by a professional or professionally trained technician.

Ā 

Laser therapy may be another solution, in addition toĀ skin care. The first step in a cosmetic solution is to book a consultation with Calista Laser, in the DFW, Texas area, to find out more about how your unique case can be treated.Ā Book an appointmentĀ or call 817-488-3838.

Skin Care Tips To Get You Holiday-Ready

Skin Care Tips To Get You Holiday-Ready

Christmas time is almost here and with it- cold, winter weather, which is not as fun for your skin. The change of seasons is traumatic for your skin and body in general. But hopefully this time around you can take steps to prevent your skin from becoming a casualty to the dry air, harsh outdoors, low humidity levels, cold and chafing winds. Cold weather steals moisture away from the skin every second of the day. And without proper care, your skin can dry out and it can even lead to cracking and bleeding. Think about your winter self-care and bring back that all time radiant glow for your winter parties. Moreover there is the stress of the holidays to deal with. It can all get too hectic. Here are some TLC skin care tips from Calista Skin and Laser Center to get you glowing for your holiday photos, with minimal effort.

Trade-In Your Lotion For Cream

Just like you switch your seasonal wardrobes, you need to do the same with your skin emollient. Your skin will feel much better with a richer moisturizer over winter. You want your skin to retain more moisture in the winter so pick an oil-based rather than a water-based solution. Creams are more moisturizing than lotions, which donā€™t have an oily barrier to reduce water loss from the skin. Creams sit heavier on the skin but they are much better at protecting against extreme temperature and humidity. Areas like your hands, feet, elbows, and knees have thin and dryer skin. So they tend to lose moisture faster than other areas on the body. Slather on a moisturizing cream at night to seal the moisture in.

Exfoliate Well

You need to slough off dead skin cells in the winter and also get rid of the dirt that cleansers canā€™t remove by exfoliating.Ā  Start with a gentle exfoliant and see if your skin is comfortable with the routine before picking up the stronger stuff. You can even use an exfoliating mask on your face and your hands and even your lips. Then follow it up immediately with moisturizer to witness a smoother skin. Exfoliating also helps make room for fresh cells to grow and it helps your skin absorb more moisturizer, creams and any other product you use for your skin care routine.

Take Shorter Showers And Use Lukewarm Water

Avoid long, hot showers or baths as they will leave your skin dehydrated and dry. Ā Go for shorter and lukewarm baths and showers and towel dry your skin right after. Using lukewarm water instead of hot water can prevent stripping oils away from the skin. Your skin needs more moisture right after you wash so do apply a good moisturizer to damp skin from head to toe in order to seal that dampness into the skin. Use shower gel instead of soap for better coverage and extra skin enrichment.

Donā€™t Skip Sunscreen

Your skin may be less exposed to harsh sunlight over winter but you should not stop protecting yourselves from its rays altogether. You can use skin creams with built-in sunscreen, but do make sure it has an SPF rating of 15 or higher. For people who spend a lot of time outdoors, working or enjoying winter sports, an SPF of 30 or higher is recommended.

Steer Clear Of Stressors

Winter brings with it a host of holidays that are fun to celebrate with friends and family but it can also bring on a lot of stress that is likely to show up on your skin. All the alcohol, rich food, long nights, and stress can be harsh on the skin. Donā€™t skimp on the fun but do pay attention to skin stressors and minimize them. Cut back on simple sugars and carbohydrates. Avoid fast foods or processed foods to prevent acne breakouts. Stress always makes any skin problem you may have a little bit worse. Whatever you do, follow your skin care routine. Take time out for yourself and practice some relaxation techniques, like meditation.

Invest In A Humidifier

Regulating the indoor temperature using heating systems can dry out the air. You can counter it by installing a humidifier in your home, particularly in your bedroom. This will help put moisture back into the air and it can help keep your skin from drying out.

Drink Water And Eat The Right Food

Most of us drink a lot less water in the winter because we prefer hot drinks like cocoa and tea. Your skin needs hydration from the inside too, so squeeze a dash of lemon in a little warm water and drink it. Your skin will feel refreshed and hydrated at the same time.

Ā 

You should pick foods high in water content such as watermelon, apples, oranges, kiwi or even veggies like tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini and more, to help hydrate your skin from the inside out. Increase your intake of vitamin C and zinc to encourage the healthy production of collagen and elastin. Eat more fatty fish and flaxseed to help your skin appear supple and smooth.

Ā 

You can also try one of Calista Skin and Laser Centerā€™s skin care beauty treatments such asĀ Hydrafacial,Ā Microdermabrasion, orĀ Skin TighteningĀ to get instant results. Ā We are here to help you look your best every day. Call us on 817-488-3838. What are your tips for pampering winter skin?

Does IV Therapy For Immunity, Hangovers, Etc. Work?

Does IV Therapy For Immunity, Hangovers, Etc. Work?

Weā€™ve all been there before. We have gone out for a night of drinking and end up feeling incredibly hung over the next day. We feel like we canā€™t possibly perform our daily tasks and end up calling out of work. Unfortunately, this is a reality for plenty of Texans who enjoy going out and having a good time. However, what if we told you there was a better way to tackle this problem instead of waiting for your hangover to go away?

Ā 

There have been countless methods that people have talked about over the years that are meant to erase your hangover immediately. Unfortunately, the truth is that the alcohol in your system must go away on its own. However, there is a method that can be done that will help you feel better during that process.

Ā 

IV therapy is a relatively new method that registered nurses and other medical professionals have been using to help defeat the threat of hangovers. Letā€™s take a closer look at some of the symptoms of hangovers and how IV therapy can help alleviate them.

Understanding Usefulness Of IV Treatment

Letā€™s take a closer look at hangover symptoms and what they can do to the body.

  • An individual may feel fatigued or weak whenever they stand up due to dehydration
  • You may experience constant dry mouth after a night of heavy drinking
  • Nausea and vomiting can affect you from drinking excessively
  • Headaches and dizziness may strike you at any time after a night of heavy drinking

Ā 

Most of these symptoms can typically last for twenty-four hours. However, drinking more than the recommended amount can end causing your symptoms to last for days. Your body becomes incredibly dehydrated during this time and can cause these problems to begin to develop in the body. Fortunately, this is whereĀ IV treatmentĀ can come in handy.

Ā 

Receiving an IV treatment by a medical professional can help replace electrolytes and reduce the symptoms of hangovers by providing you with nourishment that goes directly into your blood stream. Here is what is inside of a healthy cocktail of fluids that are used by medical professionals whenever you receive an IV treatment.

  • Electrolytes
  • Nutrients
  • Saline fluids to help rehydrate you
  • Medication to help you if you are experience pain

IV Treatment To Boost Your Immune System

There are also other benefits of receiving IV treatments.Ā Your immune system can greatly benefit from IV treatments by receiving nutrients that are inside of the cocktail that is being used. Here are some common vitamins that you will find in an electrolyte filled fluid that is regularly used.

  • Vitamin B
  • Vitamin D
  • Vitamin C
  • Zinc
  • Antioxidants
  • Anti-inflammatory vitamins

Ā 

One of the greatest benefits to using this system is that the IV fluids are sent directly into your blood stream. This means that there is an instant effect the moment it is injected. Unfortunately, using only oral supplements to receive your vitamin intake per day can end up getting lost in the digestive system. Thankfully, this method is a guaranteed way of ensuring that you receive the right vitamins that can help boost your immune system.

9 Tips For Getting Rid Of Tattoos

9 Tips For Getting Rid Of Tattoos

Thinking of escaping the past with the removal of a tattoo? Dallas-Fort Worth tattoo removal is possible for those who donā€™t want to carry around memories of past loves, celebrations or anything else. The tattoo may no longer reflect who you are today; getting rid of it is the next step.

Ā 

Body ink is often chosen on a whim and can sometimes be the result of a drunken impulse, rebellion, need for attention, identification with a person or group or an act of artistic expression. Whatever the reason for the original body art, it may be time to let it go and have it removed.

Ā 

Todayā€™s lasers have improved the process, with a series of laser treatments, possibly four to eight weeks apart, the course. Most of the tattoos today are removed with a Q-switched laser. Calista Skin and Laser Center wants you to know more.

Here Are Nine Tips To Know Before Your Treatment.

1. Each tattoo may disappear differently
A laser treatment expert should be consulted, as some of the past tattoos may fade only partially after treatment.

Ā 

2. Where is the tattoo?
On which area of the body is the tattoo located? That will make a difference, as fading might be slower for a tattoo that is located further down the leg or arm.

Ā 

3. An older tattoo is better
An older tattoo tends to fade more easily, while newer tattoos may take more treatments and are more difficult to remove.

Ā 

4. Who gave you the tattoo?
Amateur ink, such as ā€œstick-and-poke,ā€ is easier to remove than a tattoo done by a professional. Skin changes uncovered during laser removal might result in a ā€œghostā€ of your former tattoo.

Ā 

5. Colors and more colors
Since different dyes react to different wave lengths, no single laser might remove all colors. The easiest colors to remove include the following:

  • Black
  • Dark green
  • Brown
  • Dark blue

Ā 

Tattoos that are larger, darker and more colorful involve more time and expense to remove than those that are smaller, lighter and less colorful. The hardest colors to fade include:

  • Turquoise
  • Purple
  • Yellow
  • Fluorescent dyes

Ā 

It is easier to remove a tattoo on a person with lighter skin that on one with darker skin. It can still be done, although it may involve a bit more time. Consulting with an expert is important to find the best option for your individual tattoo removal.

Ā 

6. Your skin may have changed
Changes in skin texture or scarring may have resulted from the original tattoo. Removal with a laser might still leave a ā€œghostā€ of the tattoo.

Ā 

7. Apply sunscreen before and after
Applying sunscreen before and after treatment may help with darkening or lightening over and around the area of the tattoo. It is also advised to wait until a tan has faded before getting a tattoo removed.

Ā 

8. Darkening may happen
Some of the cosmetic tattoos, that are used as lip liner, may darken right after laser treatment. This is especially true with the pink, white and flesh-colored liners used in the cosmetic application of a tattoo.

Ā 

9. Allergic reactions matter
When your tattoo was first applied, did you have swelling and itching, indicating an allergic reaction? If this was the case, a Q-switched laser might cause a reaction that is more serious.

Now that you have the facts about tattoo removal, you might contact us or call 817-488-3838 to find out more and to set up a consultation. We can help you as you move forward into the future with the past no longer a part of todayā€™s body.
